    Give me a week long battery.

    I got a Chromebook that lasts like seven days sleeping and 30 hours that I booted with Linux. It has headphone jacks. It has three USB ports. It also cost like $300.

    It was awesome for light coding and browsing, and lasted 10 years.

    Still got sweats going, “Eww it’s notApple/isGoogle/cantplayCrysis/cant3DModelWhileWatching4K.”

      I never considered a Chromebook in that respect. I’ve got a 2015 11" MBA that does Invidious and lightweight work fine, but the battery leaves a lot to be desired.

      I’m guessing the Chromebook I’d want would have to be jailbreakable and x86 if I wanted to run a lean Xfce Linux distro on it?
